This article investigates effective pedagogical strategies for developing literary analysis competence among secondary and tertiary level students. Literary analysis competence refers to the ability to interpret, evaluate, and critically respond to literary texts through understanding their structure, themes, stylistic devices, and cultural context. The study emphasizes student-centered approaches, such as dialogic reading, guided interpretation, comparative analysis, and interactive group work, which engage learners actively in meaning-making. It also explores the role of formative assessment and reflective thinking in deepening analytical skills. The findings highlight the importance of integrating literary theory, textual evidence, and personal response in teaching practices that aim to cultivate critical and culturally aware readers.
